Alchemy Film & Arts also engages in developmental projects for experimental film and artists’ moving image production in Scotland, including a year-round exhibitions programme, an annual one month artists’ filmmaking residency, filmmaking symposia, touring programmes and a range of community filmmaking and engagement initiatives.
